Have you ever felt like you had everything you wanted except for what you most needed? This is the epitome of discouragement. A revelation? An unveiling? Discouragement is a journey to discovering that God is who He says He is and will do what He says He'll do! Comment to share a time discouragement turned to discovery!

Daily Lesson for Tuesday 5th of August 2025
Following God’s instructions to Moses, the Israelites left Egypt as a well-organized army. The Hebrew terms tsaba’ and makhaneh testify to that description, namely, “army,” “division,” “camp,” and “hosts” (Exodus 6:26; Exodus 7:4; Exodus 12:17,41,51; Exodus 14:19-20; compare with Exodus 13:18). They were divided into units and marched like an army. Later Balaam saw from Moab’s hills that Israel was “encamped tribe by tribe” (Numbers 24:2, NIV).

Meanwhile, “Moses took the bones of Joseph with him” (Exodus 13:19, NIV). This is a very important detail in the text, and it reveals the fulfillment of Joseph’s faith in God’s promises. Joseph never lost sight of the Promised Land, even though he lived in the splendor and privileges of Egypt. He requested that his bones be taken to the land of Canaan (Genesis 50:24-25). He believed that the Lord would surely visit Israel in Egypt and bring them to the land, as He had sworn (Hebrews 11:22). On Israel’s arrival in Canaan, Joseph’s bones were “buried at Shechem” (Joshua 24:32, NKJV).
The pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire were the visible signs of God’s presence among His people. The Lord dwelt there and spoke also from the cloud (Exodus 14:24; Numbers 12:5-6).
Meanwhile, Pharaoh reveals the true motives of his heart. He is not converted, and he never truly repented. His asking God to bless him was a farce, perhaps a deception in his own heart. He gathered his army, and they went after their escaped slaves. How totally blinded by sin this man really was.
When the people saw Pharaoh’s army coming, they spoke words and expressed sentiments that would be echoed by them more than once: “ ‘Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt?’ ” (Exodus 14:11, NKJV).
That is, having already seen such dramatic manifestations of God’s power, which included the sparing of their own firstborn sons, the people still displayed a stunning lack of faith.

Think of the last time you faced a terrible situation. What was your first reaction: faith in God or a lack of faith? What lessons should you have learned from that situation that could help you the next time another comes (and come it will)? |
